Chapter 7: Sweeping and What Changed - Overseas Chapter

The first case It's China, it's the hotel where you stay. After checking into the hotel, because I wanted to avoid wasting resources, I left a note in Chinese for the waiter. This is a kind of respect for the waiter, and it can also make the waiter feel passionate and make her feel respected.

Bring your own toiletries and put disposable hotel supplies aside and put them back when you check out. It is despicable and inconsiderate to think that all spare parts should be used because money has been spent.

In anything, if you don’t stand up and take the lead, you can’t expect others to work as you imagine.

Even if it is a trivial matter, it takes a lot of courage to actually implement it.

Regard the garbage on the ground as an important condition for sharpening your character every day.

The second case is in Taiwan, China, Uni-President Supermarket. General Manager Xu has a very successful business and implements "family management". "Family is the most precious and irreplaceable." If we can treat employees with the attitude of cherishing family members, we will be able to run the company well."

Our team is undergoing a three-stage trial. If we can all treat everyone with this attitude, maybe the team will be better. The morale can be improved a little more.

During the cleaning activities in Taiwan, Manager Xu of Uni-President Supermarket said: The two major benefits of the cleaning activities are that children learn to tidy up. The other is character education. Cleaning up can cultivate people's humility. With humility, no matter the level of their position, they can respond to each other sincerely. At the same time, by cleaning dirty places, I gradually understand that difficulties can eventually be overcome. In this way, we can cultivate a spirit that is not greedy for pleasure and has the courage to challenge everything.

There will be clean-up activities in Brazil and the United States later.

After reading the whole book, the author said that the development of such activities is to change the spirit of the Japanese people, and they must promote humility and strive to prevent spiritual degradation.
